Pracheachon

The Pracheachon was a socialist political party in Cambodia which existed from 1954 to 1972, serving as the legal front group for the Communist Party of Kampuchea. Most of its leaders were former Khmer Issarak leaders, and it had widespread rural support, although Prince Norodom Sihanouk rigged the 1955 elections so that his Sangkum party swept the National Assembly. In 1972, the party formally joined the CPK.
